Moved from ID Request. Seems to match the case on MPG, and Steven probably knows what he's doing here. I'm not familiar with the species.

I can't be certain, so it probably shouldn't be used as a guide, but I think it was photographed on Malus. that's going off of memory from 2 years ago :P

Steven Whitebread ID'd it as Coleophora querciella on iNat: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/71851010
